I didn't want to post my opinions or elaborate on this much but claiming someone "deserves more room" when overtaking is a truly bizarre claim...

I agree overtaking is not very common at that corner, but at least in F1 there are guidelines for when an attacking car has won a claim to the apex, and Pic had done so. Therefore, for me the collision is not solely Pic's fault. He was practically squeezed off the track on the inside, while being nearly alongside.
